In all fields, the word most firmly embedded in the minds of men is progress. The DART staff has kept pace with the forward movement in electronics and nuclear fission. Improvement in word and picture has been our goal throughout each bi-weekly publication, as well as in our final journaiistic attempt, the 1949 DART Yearbook. The Clossroom section is complete with Senior sayings, class prophecy, and photos of all graduates-to-be. The accomplishments of Sophomore, Junior, and Senior classes are revealed in the history of each, with pictures of all sophomore and junior homerooms. The class plays, the Y-Canteen, and the vocational courses are important cogs, too, and merit particular emphasis in the book. Exploiting the sensational records of Bula's 1948-49 basketball and football aggregations is the presentation on Sports. Baseball and track are also featured as newsy sports items. Band . . . assemblies . . . choir . . . drama . . . clubs — all reflect the students' participation in Activities. In this 1949 Yearbook we hope to display a work advanced and informative in set-up, in keeping with the era of progress manifest in all fields. SIX Contents There are protons, electrons, and neutrons, As stated in the Electronic Rule; Let'; use o little imagination. And pretend on atom is the high school. The students shall be protons; Let the faculty electrons be; And the neutrons of the nucleus Are their means of activity. All atoms react as a unit In various types of formations; Thus, this is a record of teamwork In foculty-student relations As the protons are the positive charges of an atom, so the student are the protons of the school. Neutrons, in the form of ACTIVITIES, ATHLETICS, CLASSES, complete the nucleus. Rotating about a nucleus are the electrons, which determine valence of the atom Filling these psoitions are the administration and faculty under whose guidance the students prepare for adult life. seven Gdminisfoation Tiucleus Controlling the master switch on the command performance of the present and future ore the administrators.

The renewal of the two three-mill levies and the passage of a one-mill levy enabled the board to meet the increased cost of operations, building repair, and teachers' salaries. They also worked co-operatively with representatives of the Ashtabula Teachers' association to establish a new salary schedule which took effect January 1. To increase the stadium fund so that a stort could be made on the proposed bleachers for Bula field, the proceeds from the Ashtabula-Painesville football game were donated to the fund. Patron tickets sold for one dollar. Results of these efforts will be seen before the next grid season, as a section of seats had been prom ised by August 15. ten Troffic problems ot the corner of Elm ond Division, and Pork and Division streets were token up by the board. An extensive reconstruction program is being carried out throughout the school system to repair old buildings and replace equipment.

By tom McCarthy Upon the shoulders of the 197 young men and women of the Class of 1949 rests o great privilege and responsibility, for their visions of the future will BE the future of Ashtabula, of the United States, of the world They bring fresh blood and enthusiasm to this tired old earth and vigorously take up the challenge of the A-bomb, the draft, communism, inflation, and the other problems that hove worn down their elders. As their leaders, the class chose Paul Jackson, president; Donald Weiss, vice-president; Janet Guerra, secretary; and Merle Kelley, treasurer. The student governing body, the Senate, was guided through the first semester by Carmen Rozzo, with Ernest Mazza as vice-president Other senior members were Williom Anderson, John Church, Froncis Guerriero, Paul Jackson, and Wesley Verde. During the second semester, Carmen Rozzo held his post as Senate president, while Wesley Verde became vice-president. Other senior senators were William Anderson, Frank DeDomenico, Robert Foster, Robert Kangas, and Ernest Mazza. The football team set a precedent for victory by sweeping through the season undefeated, running away with the LSL crown, and placing five players. Gene Gephart, Richard Karbacka, Thomas Lookabaugh, Anthony Secchiari, and Donald Weiss, on the LSL All-Star squad. Gephart and Secchiari were cocaptains of this squad. Besides the above-mentioned senior lettermen on the 1948 grid roster, other Panthers were Douglas Coxe, Ray Erickson, Robert Foster, Merle Kelley, Douglas Niemi, Carmen Rozzo, Arthur Stegall, and Manager Gordon Taylor. Gene Gephart and Anthony Secchiari rated spots on the LSL All-Star basketball squad, of which Gephart was captain. The class gave AHS its royalty, consisting of Football Queen Janet Guerra, and her court, Maxine Bihlojama, Julia Church, Peggy Johnson, Betty Manyo, Janice Sheldon, and Helen Wade. Senior cheerleaders, whose athletic and vocal ability brought forth the yells of the crowd, were Maxine Bihlajama, Eloine Hlin-ovsky, Jane Hoyle, Patricia Scarborough, and Glorya Zappa. Early in the year, clubs sprang up as students directed their talents into their particular fields. The various organizations and their presidents were Latin club, Joseph Acier-no; Spanish club, Frank DeDomenico; French club, Mary Ann Siegfried; Thespians and Dramatic club, Ernest Mazza; D-Ed club, (1) Ray Erickson, (2) Lorys Harper; Senior Y-Teens, (1) Glorya Zappa, (2) Phyllis Green; Senior Electricol Shop club, Harry Mason; FHA, Virginia Emanuel; Panther Hi-Y, Thomas Baker; Science club and a Cappella choir, William Voorhies; Junior Red Cross, Thomas McCarthy; Bula Auto Mechanics, Frank Mann; Vocational Commercial club, Sandra Taggart, AHS Swing Band, Patrick Harrison. Tom McCarthy copped first place in Ashtabula county in the General Scholarship Tests administered to 48 students at AHS in February. eighteen Ofj Gslttabula, the The Y-Conteen was as popular as ever. Directing its activities were Mary Ann Siegfried, president; and AHS senior members Elaine Efantis, Jane Ferrando, Norma Loose, Elsie Melaragno, Mary Jane Paulino, and Gloryo Zappa. The Senior Prom and Graduation loomed largest in the eyes of all. Arrangements for their success were entrusted to class committees. Decorotion, finance, program, and refreshment committees were headed by class officers. Dorothy Marshall was chairman of the announcement committee, while the cap and gown committee was under the direction of Sue Koch. Through the year, the editorial end of the DART was guided by Co-editors Corrine Cosgrove and Mary Ann Siegfried. Business affairs were handled by Christine Pedro. Picture one: Firjt semester Senate officers, Ernie Mozza, Carole Meyers, Carmen Rozzo. Picture two- Seniors in personal typirva closs. Picture three: Cofctcno at noon. Tlaticn, the Welld DARTs were sold in senior homerooms during the first semester by Treasurers Maxine Bihlajoma, Elaine Efantis, Virginia Emanuel, Joseph Licate, Harry Mason, Winfield Sill, and Donald Weiss. Finances were handled during the second semester by Maxine Bihlajama, Dale Corbitt, Virginia Emanuel, Raymond Lee, Harry Mason, Winfield Sill, and Maynard Stofan. And thus, with the record of past achievements behind them and the glory of the new ones owoiting them, the class of '49 passed into the dim future, determined to conquer all obstacles in the path of a useful life. nineteen JOSEPH ANTHONY ACIERNO — Lotin club prexy . . . eyes that shine . . .

Meister, Ashtabula high school has an organized vocational deportment which helps prepare students for successful participation in the world of tomorrow. S. J. Fiorenzo instructs the VOCATIONAL MACHINE SHOP course, a class to acquaint students with a basic knowledge of the machinist's trade. The 1948-49 class had eleven members enrolled. While working to acquire skills needed in industry, the class has developed such articles as a planer-jack, holddown bolt, C-Clamps, T-Tap handles, wood joiner, and a filing machine, some of which will be put into practical use later. To understand better the operations of machines, the group visited many of the machine shops around Ashtabula. ★ ★ ★ ★ Supervisor of the VOCATIONAL AUTO MECHANICS course is C. J. Bolender. Receiving instructions in the fundamentals of auto-mechanics ond the functioning of the internal combustion engine is the Junior class. They work during the three morning periods in the auto lab. The seniors comprise the afternoon class, which does complete overhaul jobs and outside work. Members of the course receive 15 credits for shop work and five credits for one hour o day in related subjects. During the field trips to Cleveland, the class visited the Willard Storage Battery Co., Fisher Body, and White Motors. ★ ★ ★ ★ To familiarize students with the practical side of electrical work and work with tools of the electrical trade is the purpose of the VOCATIONAL ELECTRIC course. C. E. Miller, instructor of the course, stresses concentration on safety measures. For the ten members in the junior group, the work centered around the wiring of low voltage equipment, such as bells and buzzers, and becoming acquainted with the various methods of wiring homes. The boys operate sound equipment for recordings and also learn Ihitty-vx Fir� t picture: Ruby Boon, Helen Diooeff, Helen Hoover, Elizabeth Collette. Second picture: Fronk Monn, Howard Andrus.

The 21 seniors concentrate on motor work, such as studying the coils and connections of motors, generators, storters, and switches. They also do maintenance work and construction around the building and neighboring schools. Juniors and seniors also drew sketches from the ELECTRICAL BLUE PRINT book. Lighting work for the school dances and for dec-orotions at Christmas was performed by the Senior class. ★ ★ ★ ★ About 100 girls are enrolled in the VOCATIONAL HOME ECONOMICS course, taught by Miss Isabel Day. This course gives girls an opportunity to out into practice factual moterial which is learned in class. Home projects which bring obout on improvement in the girl, her home, or her family ore carried on into the Summer. The girls receive extra school credit for this work. The course of study covers tenth grade home economics, followed by special courses in advanced foods, advanced clothing, and homemaking Offering students of the Senior class office experience during school training is the aim of the VOCATIONAL COMMERCIAL course, instructed by Miss Doris Smith. Through the cooperation of the downtown business men and the school, office positions are secured for the class. The VOCATIONAL COMMERCIAL course requires that students spend three hours each day in class. They receive training in advanced shorthand and typing, business English, filing, and office procedure. Personality development is stressed. Other required subjects for the 16 members of the 1948-49 class included business law and civics. ★ ★ ★ ★ The DISTRIBUTIVE EDUCATION course, administered by E. F. Stedman, had an enrollment of 23 pupils. This vocational course is part of a national program to train students in retailing. With 15 hours a week devoted to jobs downtown, students spend the remaining time in class, where they receive knowledge essential to retailing. Study covers advertising, display, fashion, merchandise, salesmanship, stock control, store organization, and store management. Mr. Stedman stresses cordiality, accuracy, and personality as assets in selling. Ladies and gentlemen: This is your Klutch announcer, ERNEST MAZZA, bringing you a special treat. Tonight, instead of our regularly scheduled program, Oh, My Aching Back, featuring LIB PENNA in the role of Absorbine, Jr., DOUGLAS COXE, creator of Klutch, to hold your false teeth tighter, is focusing the television spotlight on Ashtabula's class of 1949. In the control room, FRANK MORRELL, JOHN MASSI, PETER CHISMAR, PERRY BURGESS, and BEN CRUDELE are frantically attempting to get everything under way for this spectacular presentation. While we are waiting, let's listen to LEE BENHAM play the three bar rest from DICK STEPHENSON's great composition, Certoin People Sometimes Certainly Can Be Sickening. Electrical Engineer JACK DUZMANO signals that everything is ready, our stage manager, EUGENE CLARKE, throws the switch, and the video set takes us to the scene of the crime — er — rather — commencement, Ashtabula, Ohio. It seems we are just in time for some excitement. RALPH HAWKINS, Esq., is tearing madly down Seaside Lane, formerly Lake Avenue, in his famous convertible ambulance — it converts into a pup tent after hours, thus solving Ralph's housing problem. The object of all the haste is one MAYNARD STOFAN, Metropolitan Opera star, who hos been bitten by a mosquito during a visit to his home town. Superintendent JANICE KAISER rushes to meet the injured victim on the steps of the new, improved Ashtabula Three-Star-General Hospital. Her able assistants, ELAINE EFAN-TIS, LOUISE GREEN, KATHERINE HELM, JANE HOYLE, and NORMA LUCE, busy themselves with stretchers, castor oil, and band aids for the patient. As the spotlight travels back to the business section, we pass FRANK DeDOMENICO, JOE ACIERNO, BRUNO DeGEORGE, and RICHARD DAVINO, who wave as they scoot by on GORDON AU's outstanding invention, the handy handcar for members of the section gang. Formerly the New York Cen- tral Railroad, this line is now in the hands of LAMM and WOLFE, DAVID and CHESTER, that is. The scene of many memorable occasions for the '49'ers, Ashtabula High School, now looms into view. As we approach that aweinspiring edifice, Custodian WINDY SILL sticks his head and a mop out of the eighth story window and waves a dusty greeting. Dr. DONALD WILLIAMS, school psychiatrist, brushes past, followed by the psychiatric nurse, PAT SCARBOROUGH They are on an emergency call to Painesville, where Superintendent ANTHONY YOKAWANIS seems to be having considerable trouble trying to teach the kindergarten class how to fit square pegs into round holes. Secretary BETTY MANYO ushers us into Principal GENE GEPHART's office for a brief interview with that busy executive. Glancing at the moilboxes on the wall, we observe that PAM LEWIS has become DART adviser; PHYLLIS GREEN heads the English department. BILL EVANS is assisting in the biology lab while perfecting his germ-killing kiss, a project begun in his senior yeor of high school. Other imposing names on the faculty list are AUDREY FOGLIO, Latin teacher; WILLIAM VOORHIES, Spanish; DALE CORBITT, French; RICHARD MALLORIE, dramatic coach; and JOSEPH SPANO, athletic director. Up on Main Avenue, big business establishments like WALTER BUTCHER'S used cor lot and VANCE REED's barber shop set the pace for commercial enterprise in Ashtabula. MAE HELM, wife of a famous Coca-Cola executive, was voted Mrs. America in 1955. Others who have made good at home are TOM LOOKABAUGH, who owns a string of Tom Thumb drive-ins from Erie to Cleveland, and RAY LEE, Tom's bouncer in his branch store in Bula. Dr. GEORGE STAYMAN, optom-etrist, has fled to the enemy's camp — he's located at 2412 Walnut Boulevard. JANET CHERRY took over Weichert's bakery business and has RAY HUMPHREY and ALVIN CRAWFORD feverishly fitting rims around doughnut holes. thirty-eight Vast Vocational Versatility Capitalizing on the new Ohio River to Lake Erie conal, CHARLES NELSON has opened o gondola business on the former site of Aus-tinburg. His best trade comes from Park Street girls' physical education teacher, JOE FOGLIO, who brings his classes to view the sunken ruins of Grand River Academy. Floating to Saybrook on o flatboat is DICK FRANKLIN, who waves to us as he continues to gather seaweed for his vegetable greenhouse. In partnership with HOWARD ANDRUS, their motto is Say it with Cauliflowers. Operating the lift bridge is JAMES FAS-SETT, whose doily task it is to lower the bridge for ARNOLD GOSMER, cheerleader at Andrews Institute, and RICHARD ORN, sports editor of the HOBO NEWS. These two commuters reside at the old YWCA in order to benefit by the newly-installed swimming pool which employs TONY SECCHIARI as life guard. Wednesday nights feature the lady wrestlers, RUTH ALANKO and JEANETTA HARRIS, in the weekly Leaden Gloves Tournaments refereed by ROBERT HAR-SHAW and DAVID PRISCO. A last look around the home town brings the State Theater and PAUL JACKSON to view. Paul has worked industriously for years at this establishment and has finally been rewarded for his efforts—he has assumed the sought-after position of peanut vendor. Since the opening of the Shea Theater in Ashtobula bock in 1949, the State has had regular floor shows scheduled to compete with the larger movie house. We are just in time to see ROBERT THUNELL's production Amohalko (that's Oklahoma spelled backwards). Out front is BARBARA MEYER, painting mustaches on the posters of the feo tured chorines, MARYANNA BISHOP and GOLDIE SAMS. Inside, JEROME ELLERIN pulls the curtain for the first number entitled One, Two, Three Kicks and a Sidekick, starring JULIA CHURCH, JOSEPHINE CU-SANO, PEGGY JOHNSON, and ROGER WEL-TON The next act features JULIA SANBORN pounding out Barrelhouse Bessie on the backroom piano. The curtoin now goes up on LOIS BROOKS' stage presentation Amnesia, an adaptation of ROSEMARY BENNETT'S prize winning novel, Did You Forget to Remember. HELEN WADE portrays the damsel in distress, Amnesia; BETTY BROOKS, the sympathetic mother, Forgitful Fannie; WESLEY VERDE, the dashing hero, Percy; and JOE DeCOLA and COSMOS Pl-NELLI, the co-villains, Frank 'n Stein. TOM McCARTHY portroys a nondescript camel. Coming on to the television screen are various out-of-town visitors who have returned for this State premier. There's CHARLOTTE ALLEN, president of the Bird Watchers of America, photographer RALPH JOHNSON and his tinter, BARBARA BOTTINELLI. All eyes are on the lotest celebrity, TOM CEVERA He has become the most talked-of man in America for the part he played in the exciting criminal case of TAYLOR vs. PENDLETON. According to Prosecuting Attorney RICHARD ARNOLD, GORDON viciously, intentionally, and premeditatedly shaved DEAN's whisker too close. Tom's now famous role was pulling the electric chair switch at San Quentin. Leaving these festivities and Ashtabula, we take you now to Jefferson, the scene of another gala occasion, the County Fair. Several races ore on the day's agenda, beginning with a track relay in which JIM STILLMAN runs the last mile. BOB PETRY and GUY PETRO-NIO, spokesmen for the bicycle racers' convention, are gabbing over there by the seven foot man, FRANK LICATE! Trainer MERLE KELLEY stuffs TOM BAKER into his vehicle and the midget auto races are off! Anxious to hear the results ore the TYUS twins, RU FUS and RUTH, who operate a concession stand selling HAROLD MACK's latest invention, a collapsible pop bottle. Before the main attraction, the horse races, MAXINE BIHLAJAMA, famous bareback rider, performs for the crowd on her old nag, Odd-Fellow Bookie PHYLLIS CORBETT is doing a rushing business at the betting window. The favorite appears to be Lethargy, ridden by Jockey DOUGLAS NIEMI. At the right of the race track, SUE KACH's stand is attracting a great deal of attention. No doubt MARY ANN SIEGFRIED has a lot to do with the excitement os she poses for Sue's totem pole engraving. A shot rings out — the air clears and BOB MEANEY is seen rounding the first turn in the soapbox derby. Blotting this race from our view is JOHN PETERSON, who ambles across the screen selling Fuller brushes — which is as good a time as any for our station (Continued on Page 88) thirty-nin Tula's fluniols fllepale jjol 'final By CHARLES WIEDMAN Junior Clow Off ccrs: Ronold Wcitfoll, Vice-Pret.dcnt; R ichor d As we advanced frorn our lowly sophomore status to assume the role of the Junior class of 1948-49, we left behind many pleasant memories.

Everyone knows thot when you split the atom you get energy, and where could you find o better example of energy than among the 254 sophomores who entered AHS in '48? First of the classroom officers are the members of the Senate. Their energy proved that a spark from the atom must hove reached them Esther Anderson, Bob Gephart, Robert Hybert, and William LaMarsh served both terms. Nick DeCamillo, Marjorie Post, Rita Recker, and James Tremblay were first semester senators. Anna Cosimi, Norman McCreary, John Rozzo, and Dana Vandernick were newcomers the second semester. Assisting their homeroom president throughout the year were Anthony Candela. Frank Felix, Phyllis Herbert, and Francis Klepek. Pat Clement, Donald Miller, Robert Short, and John Tagett were the first semester vice-presidents, while Nick DeCamillo, Norma Orlando, Colleen Sidley, and Peggy Yocom were elected second semester. Next on the agenda are those money crav-ers who knew just when to come around and grab us when we were financially embarrassed. The homeroom treasurers included Wallace Johnson, Rheta Lewis, and Juanita Dyer, elected both semesters. Doris Brobst, Delores DiAngelo, Norman McCreary, Dixie Ray, and John Stiff held the position first semester, and Kenneth Adams, Louise Carlo, Betty Perkins, Carol Reese, and Tom Weiss for the second term. Last, but certainly not least of the homeroom officers, were the secretaries who pranced up and down the halls each morning with attendance slips. Barbara Johnson was elected both semesters. Kenneth Adams, Louise Carlo, Donna Geer, Richard Kiddle, John Monda, Irene Rich, and George Terrill served first semester.

In case you are not convinced that the sophs are a good example of the results of the split atom, ask some of the members of the opposing teams who hove been hit by Frank Felix or Anthony Candela, lettermen in football. As Coach Guornieri says, “Donald Bar-tone, Nick DeCamillo, Don Keefer, Francis Klepek, Bill LoMarsh, Harold Lillie, John Montanaro, Bill Richards, Patsy Rich, John Rozzo, Bob Short, John Tagett, and Melvin Edwards are a likely lot of football players. If they improve as much as they did during their sophomore year, they will be very good by the time they are seniors. Managers were James Tremblay and Eugene Hatch Don't forget those promising Hardwood performers, Bill LaMorsh, Norman McCreary, John Tagett, Harold Mackey, Bob Gephart, Bob Short, John Rozzo, Francis Klepek, and Anthony Candela, who have real possibilities. They were managed well by George Terrill and Bill Keating. There is no doubt that a part of the atom hit Doris Brobst, Janet Church, Esther Anderson, and Delores DiAngelo, our sophomore cheerleaders. Einstein would be amazed at these “atom splitters. Theresa Bienko, Athena Chekou-ras, Doris High, Francis Klepek, Carol Reese, Rita Recker, and Peggy Yocom received all A's the first semester. Not far behind were Loverda Brockway, Jerry Ferrando, Harold Lillie, Pat LeRoy, Mary McCarthy, and Donna Volpone, with three A's and one B. Do we hove Romeos and Juliets in our midst? Indeed we do! Do you remember, Farewell Cruel World, in which Theresa Bienko, Jean DiAngelo and Jim Louth gave such wonderful performances? And don't forget the play, “Why the Chimes Rang, in which Robert Hybert played Steen You would think the atoms were certainly being split in the band room around 8:00 o'clock in the morning Perhaps your eardrums would have been near to bursting, thanks to Beverly Giannettini, Donna Geer, Eileen Williams, Delores Huber, Raymond Massena, Marjorie Yake, Borden Brown, Shirley Myers, Robert Hybert, Jean DiAngelo, Donald Corbissero, Loverda Brockway, William Broughton, James Louth, Ben Ernst, Dana Vandernick, Shirley Massucci, Clifford Kadon, Gary Shearer, Robert Leonard, William Meaney, Donald Maginnis, and Richard Ray. Miss Alfield Johnson is sure that the Sophomore chorus is going places. There were 99 members, with 50 in one class and 49 in the other. The officers of these groups were presidents: Dick Kiddle, John Tagett; vice-presidents: Esther Anderson, Mary Carlisle; secretary-treasurers: Marjorie Post, Marcella Jenks; librarians: Bob Gephart, Barbara Johnson, Gloria Altomare, and Doris McBride. Sectional librarians were Geraldine Carano, John Tagett, Norman McCreary, Theresa Bienko, Betty Perkins, and Juanita Dyer. The class of '51 was active in the Latin club. Junior Red Cross, and Dramatic club Mary DeGeorge was treasurer of the Sketches. Leading the Sophomore-Junior Y-Teens were Esther Anderson, president; and Donna Volpone, vice-president. Representing the Presbyterian church, Robert Hangar, participated in the Prince of Peace Declamation contest. Allen Lorentzen's poem The Old Man was printed in the “Anthology of Ohio Verse. We hope that the outstanding work done by the class of '51 will encourage our followers to put their best foot forward. forty-seven emotes Sxpeno) £net j SOPHOMORE HOMEROOMS 24B ond 29 ies First row: Juanita Dyer, Greta Sandcllo, Livio Fish, Delores Gillich, Joanne Smich, Hester Scott, Donna Geer, Anna Enos.

Coach Robert Ball's thinclads won two of their eight contests. The Panthers were better than their record indicates, however.

Bula's sandlot tutor claimed the mediocre season was due to inexperienced pitching, poor condition of fields, rain, and not hitting when it counted. Their initial tilt proved to be A Comedy of Errors. Though the Panther batsmen almost matched the foe hit for hit, a jittery AHS infield committed mony miscues, and the Lakeville Rowesmen emerged victorious, 10-3. Although showing a marked improvement on defense in ensuing battles, the home team dropped close ones to Geneva (4-2) and Painesville (3-1). The fault lay mainly on unimpressive stickwork os the opposing twirlers handcuffed Bula macemen. With Dellerba and Parks developing their batting eyes, the squad romped over Geneva, 7-5, on the foe's diamond. Sophomore Dominic Rich received credit for the win. In the final game of the season, the Panthers jumped to an early lead, and it looked like victory number two in the making. Supplying most of the punch were Phil Sovarise ond Ron Westfall, who slammed triples with men on base. But in a seventh inning uprising, Painesville took advantage of Faltering Hurler Kelley and a few well-placed Bulan er rors to roily ond win, 9-8. Pitchers drawing storting assignments were Righthanders Merle Kelley and Dominic Rich. Kelley, the most imposing flinger of the year, was a late addition to the throwing corps. An ex-outfielder, Merle converted into a mounds-man and turned in creditable performances from then on. Southpaw heavers were By ron Red Childs and Ralph Baruffa Joe DeCola and Jim Stevens were relief performers.

Cheerleaders are elected by the Senate after tryouts early in the season. The varsity squad sported black jumpers and gold blouses, while the sophomores wore black skirts and yellow sweaters. This year, for the first time, the cheerleaders represented AHS in the annual cheerleading contest held at Euclid Shore during the basketball tournament in March. Points for judging were the following: Influence for guiding sportsmanship; crowd response when teom is playing; uniformity of action of members; precision in performance, attractiveness and appropriateness of uniforms; and suitability and variety of cheers. Miss Evolyn Atchison was the sponsor for this group. fifty-nina Composed of 68 members, the Senior o Cop-pello choir is under the able direction of Miss Alfield Johnson.

Contusin' e agnomens Among the studss of the class of '49, did you know that we have our own Butcher, Baker, Bishop, Mason, Marshall, and Taylor? We also have two Churches, Johnny and Julia. There are several with fifty cent monikers. Scarborough and Duzmanovich top the list with 1 1 letters, while Botrinelli, DeDomen-ico, Grandbouche, Lookobaugh, Solembrino, and Stephenson follow as close seconds.

Cosmos, Bruno, Vance, Goldie, La-Vaughn, and Liberador rating tops in first names. To cause confusion amongst us poor reporters are such oersonalities as Drefahl, Hlinovsky, Melaragno, Secchiari, Yocom, and Yokawanis. Bob hits the too in first names for the boys. Elaine and Pat tie for first as girls' cognomens. John, Joseph, Tom, Dick and Barbara also have several representatives in our hallowed halls. Johnson is the most common surname. To confuse us'ns still further we find there are two Patricia Warrens, and a Norma Loose and a Norma Luce. Included in our midst is also a set of twins, Ruth and Rufus Tyus. sixty-threo Responsible for building up the Ashtabula high school band to an outstanding 100-piece organization is W. W. Hamm, for 14 yeors its director. A strenuous campaign in the Fall of 1937 made possible the funds used for one of the first major improvements attributed to Mr. Hamm — the purchase of uniforms. These are still in use. Since his arrival, plons for projects such as the purchase of new togs for majorettes and flag twirlers and the addition of the mascot Lemo and a drum major have been completed.

During Mr. Hamm's temporary absence due to illness, Mr. Hilton Luce assumed his duties. School often began early for groups of band members who met for rehearsals either in the music room of the vocational building, or in the Fall, at Bula field. The Harbor Street fair, in September, was the scene of the first public appearance of the AHS band. Here they presented a program of classical and swing music. As in years past, the band performed at all home football games. On the grid turf, thev were known as the only teom that gains 500 yards in 15 minutes. Sharing the honors of leading the band were Joyce Porker and Peter DiDonato, assisted by Majorettes Theresa Mauri, Jonet Mer-lene, Eleanore Rose, and Lucille Vocca. Executing tricky twirls were Flag-twirlers Delores Candela, Vivian DiCesare, Lucille Dispense, and Greta Nelson. The role of Lemo, Ashtabula high's comical mascot, was ably enacted by Peter DiDo- nato. Upon Pete's retirement to become drum major of the Marching band, Ernest Mazza assumed the title of Lemo. Included in the imposing list of the band's appearances were many programs in conjunction with civic interests Among these were participation in the American Legion flagburning ceremony at North Park, for which Diane Burlingham and John Church played taps, and marching in a parade heralding the arrival of Santa Claus in November. The band also ployed a welcoming tribute to the French Merci train in February and presented a program for the opening of Ashtabula WICA's FM station in March.

Included in this group were Lee Benham, Loverda Brockwoy, Borden Brown, John Church, Tony Esposito, Joyce Findlay, Pat Harrison, Ralph Hawkins, Ben Laubach, Tony Morell, Cosmos Pinelli, Jack Prestley, David Prisco, and Dick Stephenson.

Nationally known for his artistry, Mr. Rodman makes up his participants to represent old-fashioned tintypes and famous persons of stage, screen, radio, and history. Dick Ackley, Tom Baker, and Tom Looka-baugh portrayed perfectly three doshing young men of the early nineties. Harry Haytcher portrayed Alexander Graham Bell. Dean Pendleton looked like a true intellectual made up as a distinguished professor from Harvard. Brad General Lee and Uncle Sam Kiddle proved a hit, too. NOVEMBER J. J. Lynch, bow and arrow artist, demonstrated trick shots and gave inside hints on becoming a famous archer. Main targets for the performance were Bill Anderson, Carole Meyers, and Carmen Rozzo, who courageously held balloons and other ob jects at which arrows were shot. DECEMBER Gala colors, snappy drill and precision, plus selections from popular and semi-classical music, constituted the program of the symphonic brass ensemble, White Hussars. The original White Hussars were bandits in Jennet ond Ferris Robins Russia and were so called because of their spotless white and gold uniforms. JANUARY Musical novelties comprised the program of Jennet and Ferris Robins. The French radio and stage star sang to the accompaniment of his guitar. His lovely wife gave renditions on the accordion and various dances of her native land, Scotland. Ferris' vivacious and dynamic personality will long be remembered by those who saw and heard him. FEBRUARY James Dutton, artist-teacher of the marimba and vibraharp, held us spellbound with his musical program, which included works from the old masters to popular selections of today. Interesting facts about the marimba were explained by the musician, and several old types of marimbas were displayed. Great masterpieces of Negro music and songs depicting phases of Southern life were featured in the program given by The Deep River Quartet. Oh, Susanna, In the Evening by the Moolight, and Little David, Play on Your Harp were featured in this interesting and entertaining program. MARCH Bula high indeed had a rare pleasure when it was able to explore the marine wonder-world through the experiences and adventures of Marguerite Soule Shoemaker, woman deep-sea diver. Throughout the Bahama Islands, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Florida Keys, this naturalist has studied tropical reef fish, octopi, sharks, and other creotures of the sea. The Sperandeos, Giovanni, lyric tenor, and Elsa, pianist, appeared in the eighth program sponsored by the Senate. In addition to the vocal and instrumental numbers, Signor Sperandeo related briefly the story of his life, which has been both thrilling and amazing. Their concert was presented in rich and colorful costumes of Spain In his return engagement to Ashtabula, C. E. Jones, the Electrical Wizard, demonstrated and explained another of his unusuol and interesting scientific programs (Continued on Page 104) sixty-six Death” Haunts Hallcwe'b Halls A haunting performance was given by the seniors in the production, Death Takes a Holiday, directed bv Mr Donald Knott. The plot centered around Death's (Ernie Mazza) three-day holiday on earth He approached the Villa Happiness and entreoted the Duke (Tom McCarthy) to allow him to spend his sojourn there. After being welcomed by the Duchess Stephanie (Mary Ann Siegfried) and the Duke's son, Corrado (Joe De Cola), he met and courted the Duke's beautiful guests, Rhoda Fenton (Helen Wade), Alda (Pat Scarborough), and Grazia (Julio Sanborn). Having sampled the pleasures and discouragements of life, Death discussed the philosophy of his kingdom with Major Whit-read (Lee Benham), who had come close to Death many times. Baron Cesarea (Bill Evans) and the Princess of San Luca (Pam Lewis) provided the play within a play scenes. Other love in terest was provided by Eric Fenton (Dick Stephenson). The maid, Coro (Elaine Hlin-ovsky) and handy man, Fedele (Ronald Huffman), added humorous touches to the plot. After falling in love with Grazia, Death realized, through her, the reason that mortals fear him. The following committees were appointed to carry out the technical aspect of the pro- duction. Tickets and program were in charge of Virginia Emanuel, chairman; David Pris-co, Agnes Puchan. Publicity was handled by Bill Voorhies, chairman; Corrine Cosgrove, Frank DeDomenico, Bill Evans, and Mary Ann Siegfried, while Jane Hoyle, chairman; Norma Loose and Sue Kach were in charge of properties. Ushers headed by Normo Loose included Lois Brooks, Jeanetta Harris, Marian Wether-bee, Beverly Welton, and Mary Woodward. The stage set was designed by Mr. Ray Ashdown's art classes and constructed by J. B. Kohut's woodworking group. The electric shop arranged the lighting effects headed by Tom Cevera, who is stage manager. Given Tuesday ond Wednesday, Mar. 15 and 16, the play was a comedy-drama in three acts. jixty-jcven Obama festival Captivates Cioivi Director Donold Knott's Drama Festival of Three One-Act Plays spelled top-notch entertainment to o thoroughly enhanced audience Thursday evening, Feb. 10. Eighteen capable dramatists and four complete sets were used in the two-hour revue stoged in the high school auditorium. The opening one-acter was The Valiant. It proved o compelling story of o condemned man, James Dykes, minutes before he was led to the gallows. Emotional impact in the tense drama was keenly felt through the efforts of John Church (Dykes), Carol Jeffers, Tom McCarthy, Wesley Verde, Cosmos Pinelli, and Anton Micksch. In contrast with the first production was Farewell, Cruel World, an all-sophomore presentation. Jean DiAngelo, Theresa Bienko, and Jim Louth were the despondent teen-agers who wanted to commit suicide because of their unfortunate love affairs. The rest is hilarious comedy, as they experience a change of heart when their apartment actually catches fire and they scamper for safety. Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest was a laugh-provoking sotire of the lush Victorian ero. The leads were aptly characterized by Bertine Baker, Joe DeCola, Ernest Mazza, Anne Morrow, and Redo Trues-del. Smaller parts were executed with finesse by Lee Benham, Bill Evans, Elaine Hlinovsky, and Ronald Huffman. Student directors assisting the productions were Anton Micksch, Ernest Mazza, and Mory Ann Siegfried. Sue MacKenzie and Phyllis Truesdell were bookholders. Gloria Cifelli wos publicity chairman; Virginia Emanuel, ticket chairman; Tom Cevero, electrician; Mary Sullivan, Kathleen Field, and Phyllis Adams, properties; and Bill Venditti, make-up. sixty-flight Clccjui’ies 7l eiv Hock” Modernization was the aim at Ashtabula Public Library during 1948.

Mrs. 0 F. Cuff-mon, Mrs. Will Chopplc. Just before the 1 1:35 bell, the eoger countenances of the fourth period lunchers is something amazing to behold, while the fifth period students (those suffering specimens of humanity) assume lean, hungry looks as they prepore themselves for an hour of excruciating agony before they, too, can partake of the delicacies creoted by Mrs. A J. Dingle-dine and her able assistants. The cafeteria plon was established in December, 1941, and has proved its worth o thousandfold in the interim since its initiation. Mrs. Dingledine has served as manager for the entire eight years, while Mrs. Kitty Choppel has been with the staff since 1943 and Mrs. O. E. Cuffman, since 1945. Mrs. A. E.

Dinale lne Dishes Dinneis ic Diners creamed eggs on toast, macaroni, tuna fish salad, meat loaf, vegetables, fruit juices, milk, coffee, sandwiches, pie, cake, ice cream, and cookies ore some of the dishes more frequently listed. Imagine buying 125 pints of milk, 7 pull-man loaves of bread, and 75 pounds of potatoes every day; 30 pounds of meat even time you want hamburgers; 40 pounds of beef for each meat loof or beef stew! Those are regular proportions used by the menu-makers. Due to the decrease in total school enrollment, the number of sales has also dropped, but on occasion os many os 277 lunches hove been served in one day. Under the supervision of the vocotional-commercial department head, Miss Doris Smith, the finances were handled by juniors, Joanne Cozadd and Wilma Harmon. The snack bar, an added feature of the lunch program, was managed by Nancy Head-ley, a junior. This project, conducted for those students who carry lunches, offers candy bars, ice cream, milk, and fruit. CAFETERIA WORKERS Left to Right — Noncy Hcodley, Joanne Cozadd, Wilma Hormon. T)afi{, Tlumbel One By ERNEST MAZZA “Less in quantity; distinct in quality aptly describes the 1948-49 DART. The school's number one diary was slightly reduced in size, but with the transformation came new, sparkling, and informative features. “Mightier Than the Sword was the impressive trademark signifying the editorial column down the left side of page one, while the amusing “Uncle Frisbee Sez gave the latest in popular music trends. “Wits End, a rambling commentary on school life, and “Yellow Journalism — by Lemon, the “hoomer colyum, added zest to page two.
